Pupil Protect vs OnlineSCR
OnlineSCR is a single central record system for schools and trusts, with DBS and other checks ordered from inside it. Staff in Pupil Protect covers the single central record along with safer recruitment, training and concerns about adults.
The main difference is how much of safer recruitment each covers beyond the record itself.
